Help From a Stranger

Jiang Xue's voice attracted the attention of the entire class. Shen Xi shrugged and said, "Am I arrogant? I don't think so. On the contrary, Jiang Xue, I hope you won't be the next person made to offer me a formal apology."

Jiang Xue clenched her fists, her manicured fingernails piercing her palms. She looked at Shen Xi with eyes on the verge of spewing fire.

"Student Jiang Xue, what are you doing? Do you want to make a formal apology too?" The English teacher, Lin Li, noticed the look Jiang Xue sported, speaking up in Shen Xi's defence before a fight could break out.

Jiang Xue was so angry she shouted at Lin Li, "Teacher Lin, can't you see that Shen Xi is looking for trouble, not me?"

"Teacher Lin, I was about to clean the whiteboard when Jiang Xue stopped me. She thought I was up to no good, implying that I had done something to Liu Cheng and decided to make things difficult for me," Shen Xi retorted.
